New Books! New Covers!

June 26, 2009 by Mandi 19 Comments

I came across a couple of new books this week:
Amanda Grange, who has written several books related to Jane Austen, such as Captain Wentworth’s Diary, Colonel Brandon’s Diary etc., has a new one coming out:

Photobucket
Awesome cover, isn’t it? This comes out August 11th. Go HERE for an excerpt from Amazon. I have yet to read this author, but I have a few of her “diary” books ordered. Has anyone read this author? I would love to hear your thoughts.
While on Twitter a few days ago The Booksmugglers mentioned the book, Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev had really caught their attention. They have said it has shortlisted for best of the year! Here is the link to the book’s Website. This website is amazing, and Lisa Manchev said there is more coming to the website soon!

Photobucket
Beatrice Shakespeare Smith is not an actress, yet she lives in a theater.
She’s not an orphan, but she has no parents.
She knows every part, but she has no lines of her own.
Until now.
I am greatly intrigued by this book. It comes out July 7th.
Early review: Writing and Ruminating
This has been posted a lot but I have to do it too:

Photobucket

This is not only a beautiful cover online, but the first three books in Larissa Ione’s Demonica series are so pretty in paperback, shiny with raised lettering. Can’t wait to get my hands on this one. This will be the fourth book in the series about Lore. This series has the smexiest demons!! Ecstasy Unveiled will be out early next year.

I am off to a quick trip to the beach for my future sister in-law’s bachelorette shower this weekend!! Some girlfriends and I went to an adult store a few days ago and stocked up on party items. She has no idea what she is in for – Muuahhhh. Have a great weekend!!

    Amie and Mandi – it gets even better as the story progresses.

    I keep thinking about the book and if there is a book out there with "Ana" written all over it , this is the one. Shakespeare! Comedy! Theatre! Romance! le sigh.

    Thanks for the heads up Mandi! I'm addicted to Larissa Ione's series.

    Fabulous cover art for "Eyes Like Stars", the book does sound intriguing.

    Have an awesome weekend.

    Mandi,

    I put both Mr. Darcy, Vampyre and Eyes Like Stars on the list for my daughter for Christmas. :)

    Thank you for the cover art and the heads up on a couple of new authors for me. :)

    I love the Demonica series and can't wait for Lore's story. I just wonder who Ms. Ione is going to write about next – surely there can't be another brother wandering around. LOL We can only hope.

    Not only does it have a beautiful cover, but that is a great blurb! I'll be heading over to her site after this to find out more about Eyes like Stars.

    Have fun a the bachelorette party!

    I saw the Mr. Darcy cover the other day and didn't know what to think. I didn't realize there were more books, may have to check them out. I've been meaning to read the Demonica series – may have to move them up my TBR pile a bit!

    Mr. Darcy, Vampyre sounds familiar but not the author's name. Like to know what you find because it looks interesting.

    Eyes Like Stars, wow! Really like the cover and the intro pulls on your curiosity. Need to check that one out for sure.

    Love the cover, tattoos just seem to make most anything sexy on a book cover. :)

    I like all the covers you've put up…now are the stories as good as their covers?

    From what you and Amie say, it sounds like it…so I'm going to have to find time to read them.

    Blodeuedd and Heidenkind – I don't about this Darcy Vampyre either…I love my Mr. Darcy :)

    Hawk – yes..that is the question..hot covers, but will they be good books? I haven't read any reviews for Mr. Darcy, but I know the other two will be great:)

    Wow — that's the first time I've seen the cover of Nalini Singh's fall book. Awesome! New book shiny!

    And I left something for you over at my blog — consider me a newish (more often than not, lurking) fan!
